Some companies have begun banning IM software.  Not because of lost productivity, but rather because of holes it creates in corporate security. 11:53:51 PM

Just what I always wanted... Fairy Horns. 11:33:03 PM

More P2000 stuff The eraser-head pointer will do in a pinch, but the force it requires to move the pointer is way out of proportion for such a small device.  The old wrist tendons were starting to get sore already. To compensate, I picked up a couple of mice at CompUSA that are designed to be portable and used with laptops.  The one I'm using now is made by Kensington that has a USB cord that retracts like the power cord on a vacuum cleaner.  It's an optical mouse, so it works well on most surfaces, and the retractable cord makes it very easy to carry around. 10:23:59 PM

Speaking of Scholsky's Deli, they now have free (yes, free) wi-fi hotspots in several of their Austin locations, and perhaps in Houston and Atlanta (yes!). 10:02:45 PM

Today at the local Schlotzsky's Deli, I saw one of the guys working there, in a t-shirt with a bandana on his head, swapping SMS messages on his mobile phone. 9:58:35 PM
